Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

Each week we will post a new Top Ten list that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.

Any suggestions?

What did you finish last week?

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is where we share what we read this past week, what we hope to read this week…. and anything in between! This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from!

I love being a part of this and I hope you do too! As part of this weekly meme Book Journey loves to encourage you all to go and visit the others participating in this meme. Book Journey offers a weekly contest for those who visit 10 or more of the Monday Meme participants and leave a comment telling BJ how many you visited.

You somehow know this book is going to be very, very helpful...

Perfect.

It's Monday and it's time once again to share what we read and acquired and are reading.

What I Read Last Week

Whew. Sometimes I wonder if authors realize that their target audiences could be suffering from depression that is exacerbated by their novels. Should these books have warning labels for the emotionally susceptible? If so, then slap some warning labels on these two books.

What I'm Reading Now

In an attempt to counteract the effects of reading two Dark & Painful books in a row.

How about you? What are you reading today?
